<p>This wiki page contains coding guidelines that all developers must follow as standard practice in ADIOS 2.0 to take full advantage of the latest C++11 standard. This list is open as corrections and new ideas/suggestions come in place. Take them as mandatory good practices to improve ADIOS2 development and collaboration. Many topics are taken from Stroustrup, Sutter, and Meyers books, the clang-format, and google C++ style guide.
